Fabrics

Where are your fabrics sourced?Our fabrics are sourced from manufacturers and distributors in the United Kingdom. The country where each fabric is woven, finished and printed is stated on our fabrics page.

What is OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certification?Fabrics that are OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certified have been tested by an independent organisation to ensure they do not contain any harmful substances.

Inks

What type of inks do you use?The type of ink that we use depends on the type of base fabric. For natural fibre fabrics we use water-based pigment inks. For polyester fabrics we use dye sublimation inks. Neither contain any harmful substances.

Artwork

What type of files can I upload?You can upload your design as a JPG, BMP, GIF, TIF & PNG files up to a maximum file size of 100MB.

What colour mode should I use?Please use a RGB colour mode. For best results we recommended saving your file using the sRGB colour profile, specifically, the sRGB v4 Preference.

Why should I not use a CMYK colour mode?Prinfab do not use a CMYK printing process and our printers are setup to print from RGB images. A CMYK proof will give you a rough idea of how your design will print. For example, greens and pinks are duller in CMYK than RGB, but our process has a wider gamut than a traditional CMYK.

Why does the preview appear blurry?Your artwork is resized so that it downloads faster in the online preview. This may appear blurry in the preview but we will use your original file when printing.

I am uploading a large file but am experiencing difficulty?If the image is large and high resolution, we recommend reducing the resolution to 180 DPI and re-uploading as a high quality JPEG. If you are using TIF files, try saving with LZW compression (which is lossless). Alternatively, you can send us the file to us using WeTransfer. Our customer service team will send you an email with a link to preview and setup your fabric online.

Can I print photos?Yes, you can print photos on fabric.

If create my own fabric, do my prints remain private?When you upload a file to Prinfab it will be used only for the purpose of fulfilling your order and will not be shared with any third parties. Please read our privacy policy for further information.
